Right now, when we convert a user talk page to Flow, it sends a notification and/or an email: "Flow talk page manager left a message on your talk page."
This is confusing and spammy when we do a namespace/wiki-wide conversion, as we're considering for mediawiki.org. We'd end up sending that message to every user.
We need to suppress both the Echo notif and email.

| Resolved | SBisson | T78576 Don't send "Flow page manager" notification or email when a user talk page is converted to Flow |
Copied from the merged task:
When @DannyH flowified my user talk page in the Hebrew Wikipedia, I received a rather confusing Echo email. I got in Hebrew, but it went something like: "Flow talk page manager left a message on your talk page:". There was no more text. The messages used are probably Notification-edit-talk-page-email-batch-body2 and Flow-talk-username.
This is confusing. It would be better to receive a more explicit message that would say what actually happened: "Flow talk page manager converted your user talk page to Flow", and without a dangling colon in the end.
